cherokee-tweak connects to a running cherokee instance, either local or remote, and requests it to perform one of several actions.

info: Prints info about the server status
sources: Prints a list of the information sources
kill-source: Kill a remote information source, specified by its reported ID
logrotate: Rotates a local (*and only local*) log file specified by PATH.
trace: Manipulates the tracing mechanism. TRACE should be the string that specifies the modules to be traced, and Cherokee must have been compiled with the --enable-trace option for this to work. Everything traceable with CHEROKEE_TRACE can also be traced this way.

URL: Required before any command. This is the URL where the administration interface can be found. This target must be defined previously in herokee-admin enabling a "Remote Administration" type handler (Virtual Servers->Behaviour->Add new rule, and then Handler->"Remote Administration"). The deffinition of a security mechanism is highly encouraged.
-h, --help: Shows brief usage information
-V, --version: Prints version and exits

cherokee-tweak accepts the following options:
-u<STRING>, --user=<STRING>: Specifies the user name with which to identify to the server
-p<STRING>, --password=<STRING>: Specifies the password with which to identify to the server
